It was already late at night after the treatment of Ur Khan's wound. The cheers and noises outside the tent because of the victory of the warriors had completely subsided, and everyone fell asleep.
Ur Khan also lay down, habitually wanting to hold Yushi in his arms, but she frowned at the gauze wrapped in layers on her chest, silently refused, and had to dismiss her thoughts regretfully.
"Ogler is dead," he said suddenly.
Jiang Rui had already closed her eyes, but when she heard this, she opened it again, thought for a while, and said, "Is this Rong sneak attack related to him?"
"I don't know if it's related, he didn't leave any clues this time." Ur Khan remembered the people who died in the battle, his voice sank, "But he once colluded with the Rong family, and he was a betrayer, and the Rong family was a traitor. Killed our people, so I can't keep him anymore."
Jiang Rui nodded, indicating that although she knew that Urhan couldn't kill Ogler herself, she wanted to get rid of a person, and it was on the battlefield.
Although the warriors who came back were all injured, the transition could not be delayed. They only took a day off before leaving the camp, leaving the Moon Lake and heading for the summer meadow.
Carrying a lot of luggage and chasing cattle and sheep, the team's progress was not fast. After five days, they arrived at their destination, and then set up camp along a winding river on the grassland.
Although he was on his way these days, Jiang Rui still changed Urhan's wound medicine every day.
Probably the threat of stitches was still in his mind before. Although Urhan was riding on a horse, he knew to be careful and did not open the wound. When they arrived at the summer field, his terrifying rift finally began to close. scab.
It has been a short while since Jiang Rui gave the seeds to the group of children. As she expected, more than 60% of the seeds have sprouted, and the rest are varieties that are not suitable for this season or the northwest climate.
The children who sprouted were elated, and the ones that didn't were dejected. Fortunately, to their surprise, Mrs. Ye gave them other seeds that could germinate. When they arrived at the new station, each child held a With a green seedling.
Jiang Rui learned that they will stay here for about three months, which is long enough for those crops to bloom and bear fruit. So after she told Urhan, she marked a spot near the tent area for the children to transplant their respective seedlings from the containers onto the ground.
Selecting land, weeding, transplanting, fertilizing... All the steps are guided by her guidance for the children, and the first thing those children do after class every day is to go to the field to see the treasures they have planted, to pull weeds and weeds, and to eliminate insects. Loosening the soil and watering is more competent than a real farmer.
And Y's seems to be omnipotent, and the ability to cope with all the conditions of the plant also makes the children admire and admire.
After half a month, the scab of Urhan's wound fell off, leaving a scar that looked like a flesh-pink worm, which was particularly conspicuous on the dark skin. He himself didn't care about it. For the warriors of the Di tribe, the more scars on their bodies, the more they can prove their bravery.
"I got news that a caravan from Da Zhao will arrive here in a few days. Does the Yan family want anything?"
The weather was getting hotter and hotter. When Ur Khan went out, he only wore a waistcoat. When he returned to the tent, he immediately took off the sweat towel, and the clothes on his chest were spread out like two strips of cloth. hanging on both sides of the body, revealing a strong and sturdy chest. In fact, if he hadn't taken into account the fact that there was Mrs. Ye in the tent, and feared that she would not be able to accept it, he would have wanted to go naked.
However, the current situation is not much better than being naked. Fortunately, Jiang Rui is used to it, turning a blind eye to the strong and strong muscles in front of him. Hearing his words, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "Caravan? I remember that Da Zhao and Bei Di have no business dealings."
Ur Khan curled his lips and did not hide: "Emperor Jozhao did not allow it, but interests can always drive people to take risks. Most of the tea, salt, and cloth in the clan are exchanged from those merchants."
Therefore, those merchants are smugglers. If they are discovered by the government, they will have to be beheaded. Moreover, from the Dazhao to the gathering place of these tribes, there are many risks along the way. It is possible to kill people, and under such great danger, there are still people willing to make a living from it, and it is conceivable how much profit is tempting them.
Jiang Rui shook her head, "No need, I don't lack anything for the time being."
Her guess was quickly verified. When the caravan came, Jiang Rui did not appear. Qiuhua went to join in the fun and complained to her after returning.
"What kind of caravan? Although they are both from Da Zhao, I have to say that these people are profiteers! Princess, you know, Wulan used ten sheepskins to exchange for a piece of brocade cloth, which is only enough for children at most. The clothes are not in good condition. There are also those tea leaves, I smell musty, and even said that a tael of tea leaves and a tael of silver, why not grab it! "
Jiang Rui is not surprised, the word "queen goods can be housed" applies everywhere. The Di people need those items, so even if the price is high, they have to buy it.
There may have been people who robbed the caravan directly in the past, but this would have a consequence. No caravan would dare to do business with that tribe again. They had to pay a higher price to obtain these necessities from other channels, so they had to compromise. The current state of unfair trading.
But this situation can never last forever. Once the merchants ask for more than the nomads can bear, or when the food is in short supply and the harvest is not good, they cannot pay the price, so they can only kill and rob. If the merchants dare not Come, it is very likely that they will attack Da Zhao, at any cost in exchange for survival.
If you want to solve this situation, unless Dazhao agrees to do business with Beidi, build a fair trading environment.
Jiang Rui clenched her fingers on the table, thinking about how to achieve this goal.
Ur Khan opened the curtain and entered, bringing a burst of heat.
"Why didn't you read the book today? You've finished it?" He sat next to Jiang Rui, thinking whether it was possible to exchange a few books from the caravan for the Yan family.
"There are many more." Jiang Rui shook her head. Seeing that he was sweating, she handed over a cup of sour plum soup from the teapot on the table.
Ur Khan raised his head and poured it down. The next moment, his tough face was twisted into a ball, restraining the urge to spit it out, and swallowed hard. His sense of taste was sharper than ordinary people, and it was a sour plum soup that he had never touched before. After a cup, his whole tongue would be numb.
But looking at Mrs. Yan, holding a cup in his hand and taking a sip from time to time, the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, and Ur Khan was filled with admiration.
Mr. Yan seemed to be thinking about something, he didn't say anything to disturb him, he just watched.
It was hot, not only did he wear less clothes, but Jiang Rui also changed into summer clothes. Different from the dignified clothes in autumn and winter, even in regular clothes, her clothes in summer are very simple. That's why the light fabrics are easy to fit. At this time, she put one hand on the table, from the white neck to the round shoulders, to the slender arms, all the graceful curves were captured by Ur Khan.
He watched for a while, then unconsciously poured himself another cup of cold tea, his face twisted into a ball again.
The caravan was stationed at a certain distance from the Di people. He had just returned from the trading area. Those cunning Dazhao merchants raised the price again. So far, they can still use salt and tea for the time being, but with the same amount of sheepskin, less and less items are exchanged. Ur Khan can feel the tension and dissatisfaction of the clansmen. If the harvest in summer and autumn is not good, they cannot support it. Over the winter, I am afraid this sentiment will explode.
In the past, the manifestation of their outbreak was to "borrow" some materials from Dazhao. Now the situation is different. His family is from Dazhao. If he robs her homeland, Ur Khan feels that his end may not be good.
He recalled in his mind the scene he had seen in the wolf pack before, the she-wolf was furious and beat the alpha wolf.
Forget it, it really doesn't work, let's go and copy the old nest of the Rong clan.
